How to Find Ophiuchus the Serpent-Bearer Constellation

Ophiuchus is a large and ancient constellation that has been in existence since the time of the Babylonians. It is sometimes mistakenly called the 13th zodiacal constellation since technically the sun spends about two weeks in this star pattern. It isn't officially classified as a zodiacal constellation even though the sun spends more time in this constellation than Scorpius. Ophiuchus is a large constellation that has many celestial objects situated in its boundaries, including globular clusters and a variety of nebulae.

I love Ras Alhague, the Ophichus's Alpha star so much, because Ras Alhague help me so much to find this constellation by it's brightness

You were buried under astrological noise, but so glad to find this channel

[RhiannonRambles]

I practice Real Sky or True Sidereal Astrology, and this system includes Ophiuscus and the accurate sizes of each installation rather than the 12 at 30 degrees. I believe Ophiucus was intentionally left out as it's the center of the Galaxy and, in my opinion, the key to breaking out of this Matrix.

[sarahhageb]

Thank you for your great depiction, I had a long tedious attempts before recognizing your channel, i could recognize the summer triangle hence I am armed to meet the bear now

[kishanbond]

Well look who's back after a long nice work

[mikedeane]

Well our calendar was supposed to be 13 months 28 days a piece and one day of rest for the resurrection the Gregorian calender changed it to 12 so they removed ophiuchus I believe on purpose hiding some truth from people cool fact turtles have 13 bigger plates surrounded by 28 and it was a large tale that earth was on the back of a turtle

[katssketches]

Can you show the positions of the earth in each North Star.

[bradholderman]

I thought the summer triangle was Altair, Vega and Deneb?

[lukesmith]

12:18 I think the head of Draco is in the top left corner too

[misheckwams]

I suggest Ophiuchus boundaries with Scorpius be redrawn.

[mehjabinvadivala]

The voyager 1 space probe is in ophiuchus.

[aradaevyre]

If you live on the equator, all stars are seasonal

[miasmatik]
